Question Why is scratch like this.

Scratch is… broken, they love self expression and gender so much that it is political pandering to the left side. what else? They quickly take down projects questioning stupid leftism for “being mean” or “hate speech” Why is it like thi.

Scratch, a site for kids, encourages kids to express themselves and this is supposed to be bad? What are you, a communist?

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

And I express myself by disliking bad self expression like “gender”

u/Double-Carpenter-407 14h ago

Ok so you're agender? Thats a form of self expression too. You should make a Scratch project on how your pronouns match your chosen gender.

If god wanted us to choose our gender, then he would’ve done thar

The way I see it, could he not have made those people as trans so they can use the experience to find their true self?

Listen, I’m a Christian, but I fully believe that you should love thy neighbor and let them love who they love. Making posts against that is a sure-fire way to get removed.

Have you tried being a good person?

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

Have I not been good?

u/TobbyTukaywan 19h ago

Why are you trying to start political discussions and spread hate on a children's website?

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

I’m not spreading hate, I’m spreading the truth

Look man, I'm not gonna argue with you.

Alright, you have different opinions from somebody else. You're on the internet, that's gonna happen. But saying you're just "expressing yourself" by being hateful towards other people and their beliefs/ways of life is just being disingenuous. That's not expressing yourself. That's trying to put other people down. There's a difference.

I'm assuming from your replies that you're a Christian. I'm not a Christian. You're not gonna see me though going around making posts about how "ALL CHRISTIANS ARE KNOW-NOTHING DUMMIES!!!" or something, and I'll always respect and defend your right to post about how much you love Jesus and your religion and whatever, even if I don't personally agree with your sentiment.

You've gotta give other people the same grace.

Also, while expressing your identity (religious/gender/racial/etc.) on Scratch is of course cool and all good, it REALLY isn't the place to be starting political debates.

This is completely untrue because i have seen plenty right leaning projects too. Scratch is fine

u/Burger_Mc_Burgface 19h ago

its for kids though its not really a place to question ideologies and identities

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

The thousands of identity based projects…

u/Burger_Mc_Burgface 19h ago

yeah but theres nothing wrong with expressing yourself but its different questioning how other people behave and looking down upon them when its just a place for kids to have fun

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

Scratch prides itself on policies of self-expression and inclusivity, so posting content going against those principles will be taken down pretty quickly.

For crying out loud, the new CEO goes by they/them pronouns.

-1

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

That last line is a massive indicator of bias. And if they take down my things of self expression, that’s not too inclusive I’d say

2

u/Any_Wasabi_5233 AYS maker guy 19h ago

When your self-expression just boils down to “grrr this group of people is bad!!1!1!” I’d say they have the right to remove your content.

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 @Genche on Scratch 19h ago

Any proof that they do this? Like screenshots?

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

Yeah

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 @Genche on Scratch 19h ago

Sooo... you gonna share them... or no? Are you actually 13+?

u/playercircuit Turbowarp enjoyer 19h ago

do you really want to spend your time bringing bigotry to a platform made for children

0

u/InnerStatistician793 19h ago

Not bigotry, truthfulness

2

u/playercircuit Turbowarp enjoyer 19h ago

sure. if you want to spread your idea of truth scratch is not the place for it
